Exhaust Hoods

Commercial Exhaust Hoods

Eliminating smoke and odours from a commercial kitchen environment is essential for orderly function, as well as the health and safety of the people in the immediate vicinity. This is achieved by installing a restaurant exhaust hood with extractor fan. Kitchen smoke is pulled into the exhaust hood and safely diverted to the outside environment.

As a leading Australian supplier of commercial kitchen products, Butler Equipment now stocks an excellent range of exhaust hoods. Commercial kitchens require reliable products, and because we're aware of this need, we import the world's top brands alongside quality Australian made kitchen range hoods.

When choosing a kitchen extractor hood, it is important to keep in mind that the requirements for a commercial exhaust hood are going to be quite different to what you'd need in a typical kitchen exhaust hood.

Things to Consider when Choosing an Exhaust Hood

These units will be doing serious heavy duty, and that means they need powerful motors engineered for continuous use in demanding conditions.

Another thing to consider is that size matters. The physical dimensions of the exhaust hood need to be large enough to cover the entire cooking surface to ensure that all the smoke gets extracted.

The fan must also be powerful enough that the hood can be positioned high enough from the cooking surface that it doesn't become an inconvenience to staff.

As you can see, making the right choice is very important, so if you are unsure about your exact requirements, contact Butler Equipment on 1800 225 215 for a consultation. We are here to help you and we have experience in hospitality supply since 1979.

Installation is also something you need to think about seriously. It is best to start planning for the installation of your extraction equipment as early as possible in the kitchen design process.

When deciding where the cooking equipment will be located in the kitchen, you need to take into consideration the existing structural factors.

For example, a centrally located cooking station can be ideal in some kitchen environments, allowing preparation work to be performed at workstations around the perimeter, however this would require a large and powerful extractor to be placed directly above it right in the centre of the room.

This would probably not be practical in older buildings, or where there are offices or living spaces located directly above the kitchen.

Local municipal council regulations also need to be considered, as there may be strict requirements about how and where your extraction equipment can be located. Regulations vary widely across different areas of Australia so don't forget this very important step in your planning process.

The one thing you can be sure of is that with high quality equipment that has been installed correctly, your kitchen will be primed to operate at optimal efficiency.
